How much does tooth repair cost?

Tooth repair includes various dental procedures, such as removing decay and restoring damaged parts, and is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. The cost depends on the complexity of the procedure and the materials used.

Tooth repair cost: what affects the price?

When patients ask about the cost of tooth repair, it's important to understand that this term refers to a range of dental procedures. The price can vary significantly depending on the condition of the tooth, the type of treatment, and the complexity of the procedure.
 
Tooth repair may involve something as simple as placing white fillings to treat decay, or more demanding procedures like replacing missing teeth with implants or placing dental crowns. Each treatment has specific requirements and uses different technology, which directly affects the price.
 
The most important factor in keeping costs down is visiting the dentist on time, early treatment often means fewer, less invasive procedures, which ultimately lowers the cost.
 
So don’t delay your dental visit - putting it off won’t solve the problem; it will only make it bigger and more complex.
 

White filling cost – what does it depend on?

One of the most common dental treatments is the placement of white (composite) fillings. White fillings are aesthetically pleasing as they blend with the natural tooth colour, but the material and technique used can also affect the price.
 
The cost of white fillings can depend on the size of the cavity and the technology the dentist uses - for example, high-quality materials with long-term durability are usually more expensive. Additionally, the dentist’s experience and skill play a key role in the accuracy and longevity of the restoration, which can also influence the cost.
 
In dentistry, we distinguish between single-surface, two-surface and three-surface fillings, depending on how much of the tooth surface needs to be restored:
  • Single-surface filling - covers only one surface of the tooth, usually the chewing surface of a molar, where decay often begins. These fillings are simple and quick to place, and are used when the damage is minimal.
  • Two-surface filling - covers two adjacent surfaces of the tooth, often the chewing surface and one side. These fillings require a slightly more complex technique because two areas are affected, which calls for precision to prevent food and bacteria from accumulating.
  • Three-surface filling - covers three or more tooth surfaces and is used for more extensive damage when decay affects a larger part of the tooth. With three-surface fillings, special attention is given to stability and function, ensuring the material is strong enough to withstand chewing pressure while maintaining a natural appearance.

Tooth replacement with implants and crowns

For patients who need to replace missing teeth, dentists recommend dental implants or dental crowns, which is a more complex and long-term process.
 
A dental implant replaces the root of the tooth, and a crown is then placed on top to restore both function and aesthetics. The cost of such procedures depends on the quality of materials, type of implant, and the technology used, as well as the dentist’s level of expertise.
 
Procedures like implant placement require additional training and specialization, so the cost often includes a high level of professional skill from the dental team.
 
The most complex treatments in dentistry involve replacing teeth in a fully edentulous jaw using dental implants.
 
In patients who have lost all teeth, there is often significant bone loss in the upper and lower jaws, which complicates implant placement. In such cases, procedures like sinus lift or bone regeneration may be needed to ensure there is enough bone for stable implant placement.
 
Through consultations with the dentist, patients can receive detailed information about costs and treatment options, helping them make informed decisions for the long-term health and aesthetics of their teeth.
 
For every proposed therapy, we provide a detailed cost estimate with a breakdown of individual items. For all services, we also issue an invoice so our patients always know exactly what was done during their visit and how much they paid.
